The best of Georgia O'Keefe is in her abstractions. The Whitney Museum (Madison and 75th) not to be outdone by her MA neighbors has launched into O'Keefe abstracts as a real thing. More refined than Arthur Dove's and somewhat overworked, they are yet a delight of color and form. Forget the critic's erotic interpertation and let the paintings take you higher. Whitney closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Show runs until January 17.

Pictured between Mrs. Guggenheim and Baroness Rebay, Kandinsky poses with Solomon R. Guggenheim, who built the museum and bought the paintings!

Statue of Liberty at Dawn
Photo of the Statue of Liberty in the New York Harbor at sunrise. The sunlight has not yet reached the Brooklyn roof-tops where Craig Chessari took this photo at dawn. It was exhibited at the Pacific Street Gallery in New London, CT where the show is now all packed up and off to other walls. Sorry, if you missed it!
